I imagine a lot of people on here train BJJ, so I'm kind of surprised that we don't have a daily discussion thread for casual discussion of training

Stuff like:
  • New moves you succeeded in hitting
  • Rolls you won
  • Bitching about moves you don't like, techniques you find hard to learn, or the grind and all the minor pains or bigger injuries that may occur
  • The tournament experience
  • Belt promos or the road to them
Anyways it could be good to have an official thread, but maybe this can play the role for now
 
My goal rn is to tap out some more blue belts. I currently have two legit taps on blue belts, both on the same guy. Not like he's bad or anything, just he's a fresh blue rather than years deep into blue, about 15lbs heavier than I am. One by guillotine after cooking him with some choi bar stuff first, one by ankle lock

Trouble for this goal is, the new coaches are mainly into positionals so free roll time is rare. Most positionals I wouldn't count for these types of goals
 
Pouring one out for the new guy who snapped his ankle on literally his first free roll. He had wrestling experience but I guess the other guy did some kind of judo trip and the foot was planted wrong and he went crashing down with an audible pop. Not sure if it was ligament, tendon, or bone

I didn't see cause I was facing the opposite direction

This is the wrong goal. But every white belt has it.

Go an entire class without being tapped out by white or blue belts. Do that consistently.

Defense > Offense as a newbie.
 
At today's class we did lockdown stuff - lockdown and truck are bizarre positions and Eddie Bravo really must've been from a 10th planet inventing that stuff

However, improving at lockdown will be good for me because I play a lot of half guard

Downside is, even just being in the lockdown for drilling hurts the point of contact and your knee can feel the pressure for a long time after - not exactly "knee pain" but it definitely remembers the weird pressure it was subjected to

To add to this. Winning in rolling as well?

Goal: stick around long enough when all of that stuff doesn't matter
 
Been working on Cole abate back takes from knee in belly hitting them against my students like it’s my job lately.

It's because it's one of the oldest BJJ forums on the web, and at one point it was the best without question.

But now that BJJ has become gay and retarded, it's mostly discussed in that gayest & retardedest corner of the web, Reddit.

The leftovers here in F12 are salty ass upper belts who know how to grapple, and now we mostly need advice on knee surgeries, hiding your money during a divorce, and how much Metamucil to mix in with your creatine smoothy. The grappling details we have down, it's LIFE that we suck at, my young Paduan.

Appreciate the enthusiasm, but it's not likely this will be sustainable in THIS particular forum at this time. It used to be a WAY more popular forum, back when BJJ was straight and smahhht.

"The leftovers here in F12 are salty ass upper belts who know how to grapple"

I feel seen.

That being said I'm having fun training and coaching, we have a fun crop of 190 - 230 lb guys in their 20s who wrestled in high school and are blue belts now. It's been great fun teaching them pressure passing, jiu jitsu front headlock offense and defense, leglocks, pin escapes, and half butterfly guard then unleashing them on the local comp scene.

And in the process my single leg defense, front headlock, turtle, and wrestle ups have been getting better from rolling with these animals.

Do you train judo?
We have some bjj guys come to our judo club and sometimes during randori we allow leg attacks. Some of the guys come twice per week, others once and they are improving with the throws, grip etc

Maybe you already train some judo. The modern rules aren't perfect but it's nice to be able to fling people to the ground. Instead of pulling guard, you could try a tomoe nage

this is fucking hilarious, i love it
 
but to contribute something along the lines of what the thread wants...

there's like 4 or 5 teenagers at my gym, all blue belts, all extremely dedicated and athletic. they're all 16 or 17 years old. i still kick their ass, but it's getting increasingly difficult.

one of these little bastards is flexible as all hell and has absolutely ridiculous balance. any sweep i try on him, he somehow transforms into the multi-limbed indian goddess of war and stays on top.

so lately i've been working on front headlocks to counter them, instead. it's been working pretty well.

and i'm looking for good, comprehensive instructionals on how to finish the single leg when under a sprawl. i had one a decade ago that was brilliant, and i lost it. no idea about the title. i play bottom halfguard a lot, and can get into single legs easily from there, but since i'm old and suck at wrestling, it doesn't always work out well for me.
